Chapter 240: Xuanhuo Danta Han Feng! The crisis begins
"But, how could this be?"
"It really is. The ghost is still there."
Bang!
She exerted force with her fingertips, and the pill shattered instantly.
"In that case, let's... put an end to it."
"Someone come!"
With a whisper, two old men came in and bowed respectfully, "Your Excellency."
"Check it for me."
"Check whether there is any force selling high-quality elixirs recently. If so, buy two and bring them back. Go quickly!"
"yes!"
The two old men left immediately and started doing their work.
Xuanhuo Danta is extremely powerful in the Northeast Region. It has long been the "leader of alchemy" and is sought after by many forces.
Moreover, the fighting power of its disciples is also strong, so they have a very high status and an extremely complex network of relationships!
Its influence may not be that high in the other seven regions and one state, but within the Northeast Region, its "connections" and intelligence network are extremely useful.
In just a short period of time, he successfully found many clues and bought back a lot of pills.
Then, the two went to report again.
"Your Excellency."
They knelt on one knee and took out several jade bottles and presented them: "These pills are what we bought."
"Most of them come from several other relatively good alchemy sects and forces in the Northeast Region. There is also a rising independent cultivator whose elixirs are quite good."
"This bottle is the elixir refined by that casual cultivator."
"oh?"
As the woman waved her hand, the jade bottle flew into her hand.
As for the other pills, she didn't even look at them.
Open the jade bottle and take out the elixir inside.
The expectation on the woman's face suddenly disappeared.
Bang.
Without changing her expression, she gently waved her hand, and the elixir and the jade bottle all turned into dust and disappeared. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the two people: "Is that all?"
Originally, she knew and understood those alchemy forces better than anyone else.
It couldn't be the person I was looking for.
But since those elixirs have appeared, it means that they must have a source!
"That's all."
An old man pondered and said, "We have already bought all the famous ones that can be bought."
"There is one more!"
Another old man suddenly had an idea: "In the fairy city controlled by the Hai family, there seems to be a shop specializing in elixirs that has emerged in the past two years. The elixirs it sells are all high-quality, and the output is not low."
“Every time we put it on sale, it’s almost sold out the moment it goes on sale.”
"Open for one day, close for one month."
"I went there this time, but there wasn't even a single pill left."
"Besides, this is within the Hai family's territory, so I can't just resort to direct tactics."
"!"
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she only spoke a few words, she had an almost terrifying intuition.
"check!"
"Find out who bought his pills. Whoever it is, bring me a few pills. This is extremely important and cannot be lost. Go and do it yourself."
The two old men looked at each other and both felt their scalps tingling.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
“···”
······
"It's done!"
Yaya stroked the half-crying, half-smiling ghost face mask and whispered to herself.
She was seriously injured in the previous battle with the Sun and Moon Dynasty.
After coming back, I have been recovering almost all the time.
After the healing was over, thinking about the serious damage to the Bronze Immortal Palace, the fragments of the Immortal Cauldron, and the remains of the crown in his hands, he suddenly had a sense of "destiny".
Then, he used the remains of three imperial weapons to melt them, and finally turned them into this ghost face mask.
Her weapon refining skills were very crude.
This can't even be called refining, it's just using special means to melt all the debris and fragments together.
However, due to the special material, even with such a rough technique, this mask is still extremely extraordinary, and has the style of the mask of the ruthless female empress in the novel "The Great Saint".
"elder brother."
Putting on the mask, Yaya's longing for her brother reached its peak.
But after a moment, she took it off and put it away.
"One day, I will bring you back."
"But not now. I don't have that kind of strength now."
"From now on, I will always be by Master's side and continue to improve my strength, not for the sake of becoming an immortal, but only so that one day, I can bring you 'back'."
She sighed.
Bury the longing for your brother deep in your heart and give a sweet smile.
"From today on, I am just Master's disciple and little follower, nothing more."
She didn't want to be filled with hatred and bitterness all day long; that was too painful!
Although the ruthless empress was like this, she was not the ruthless empress in the story after all.
He was not alone.
Maybe I don’t even need to live a second or third life...
Because I still have a Master.
There are brothers and sisters, and so many fellow disciples to help me.
If this is the case, why not be so desperate and isolate yourself?
Of course, I cannot forget to miss my brother and I must always keep it in mind, but I can't always show it on my face and make those who care about me worry.
It's better to keep this matter buried deep in your heart.
And now I am...
She stood up and headed for Lanyue Palace.
Thinking that he would stay in Lanyue Palace just like before, he served tea and water to his master and took care of his food and daily life.
After all, Master is the leader of a sect, he can’t do everything himself, right?
But···
When she arrived at Lanyue Palace, she was suddenly stunned.
"Who are you?"
The saint sisters are guarding the door!
That exotic face made Yaya confused.
"Ya Ya girl."
The two girls quickly stood up and saluted: "Miss Yun'er told us about you. We are the master's maids, and here..."
Yaya: “…”
The smile on her face gradually disappeared.
There was even an urge to put the mask on immediately.
So, is it true that the ruthless empress's personality is more suitable for me?
But then, she shook her head.
No, that's not the case!
Absolutely not!
maid?
Just an outsider!
How can outsiders take care of you as well as you do?
She nodded in return and then strode into the Lanyue Palace.
I won't leave here~
I don’t believe that Master would chase me away.
······
Sensing all of this, Lin Fan felt a little numb.
"Why do I feel like I'm in a Shura field?"
"But that's not right."
"One is the apprentice, the other is the maid..."
"yes."
"Why am I panicking?!"
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
“···”
······
"Your Excellency."
Inside the Xuanhuo Dan Tower.
The two elders returned and brought back a pill: "This is the pill sold by the Liu family pill shop. We have been tracking it down for a long time and finally found a pill that has not been taken by a casual cultivator."
The Venerable just took a glance and then narrowed his eyes.
She took the pill with a blank expression on her face and said, "What was the result of the independent cultivator?"
"Already..."
The elder on the left stretched out his hand and stroked it under the neck.
“Well done.”
"There is a reward."
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
The elder on the right saw this and quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, do you need any information about the Liu family?"
"explain!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"The Liu family is one of the three major families in Hongwu Immortal City in the southwest region. The strongest person in the family is a cultivator of the seventh realm."
"These three families have been passed down for tens of thousands of years. They have been fighting each other all these years. Although they have won and lost, they have always maintained a basic balance."
"Until a few years ago, something unexpected happened."
"The Liu family rose to prominence and suppressed the other two families. Now, only a few insignificant members of the two families are left to survive."
"And the root cause of all this is the Lanyue Sect!"
"The Moon-Lan Sect?"
The Venerable whispered, then nodded, indicating that he should continue.
"Yes, it is the Lanyue Sect that fought against the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty a few days ago and even won a great victory."
"Because, the Lanyue Sect's leader's first disciple, Xiao Ling'er, is a genius in the art of alchemy. She once won the first place in the Hongwu Immortal City Alchemy Conference and became famous in one fell swoop."
"Afterwards, the Liu family formed an alliance with the Lanyue Sect. At first, no one took it seriously."
"But since when, the Liu family's strength has begun to grow by leaps and bounds. The two major families gradually realized the seriousness of the problem and began to investigate secretly. In the end, they found that it was the Lanyue Sect that relied on Xiao Ling'er's alchemy skills to continuously provide the Liu family with high-quality elixirs. Then..."
The elder spoke slowly but clearly as he told the news he had found out.
Form an alliance with the Liu family from the Lanyue Sect.
Then there was the battle between the three major families, and then the three major families felt the pressure and joined the Haoyue Sect.
As a result, after the two major wars, the two major families, which should have won no matter how you looked at it or deduced, were defeated.
The Liu family, which should have been in trouble no matter how you looked at it, instead took off directly.
Afterwards, the remaining people from the two major families were so angry that they "exposed" everything. Only then did others know that it was because of the elixirs provided by the Lanyue Sect that the Liu family's strength increased so rapidly.
Only because of this, this matter was gradually exposed.
Afterwards, the Liu family stopped pretending.
Open a pharmacy and sell medicine directly.
Relying on the reputation of that battle, there was no need for any publicity. Just label it as the product of Xiao Ling'er from the Lanyue Sect, and it made a fortune and began to develop rapidly further.
Of course, this was done with Lin Fan's permission.
In Lin Fan's opinion, the news has been leaked and cannot be hidden anymore, so it is better to make more money by publishing it openly.
After all, Xiao Ling'er couldn't hide it. The news that she was a genius alchemist and possessed a strange fire had already spread everywhere. Why should she pretend to hide it anymore?
Afterwards, the Liu family gradually expanded their business to the Hai family in the northeast region.
A few years later, it is now.
now!
A lot of things happened during this period, but the Liu family's affairs can be described in one sentence - they made a lot of money and took off.
In just a few years, they completed a journey that the Liu family might not have been able to complete in hundreds or even thousands of years!
After hearing this information, the Venerable played with the elixir and said, "So, the source of everything is in the Lanyue Sect."
"Lan Yue Sect... Xiao Ling'er."
She whispered, "How much information do you have about Xiao Ling'er?"
"Xiao Ling'er was born in the Xiao family branch of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty in the Northern Territory."
这位长老早有准备，立刻挺起胸膛，道：“这个支脉本是萧家毫不起眼的一支，最强者也不过是第四、第五境而已。”
“萧灵儿少年成名，为当地小城第一天才，但其后不知为何突然变成废材，天才之名一朝陨落，甚至修为都逐渐倒退。”
“其后，又因萧家内部的一些破事儿，导致萧灵儿父母双亡，她也与萧家彻底决裂，并被追杀。”
“但当时仅有第一开玄境三重的她，却不知为何，竟然硬生生逃出生天，并不远亿万里赶到西南域，在揽月宗大开山门之日前往拜山，其后加入揽月宗。”
“再然后，她似乎重新夺回了天才之名，开始‘逆天之旅’，入门后不久，夺炼丹大会魁首，其后不到一年，与灵剑宗剑子一战，大获全胜···”
“再然后，更是一路高歌猛进，或许，尊者您也有所耳闻了。”
“原来如此。”
尊者微微颔首：“的确有所耳闻。”
“不过···”
“出身北域，乾元仙朝啊。”
“如此说来，便是她了！”
此刻，她不由想到多年以前，自己第一次，也是唯一一次前往乾元仙朝。
当时，有异火现世。
还未曾‘出师’的自己，跟随那个老家伙一同前往夺取异火，但其后···
“只是，当初那般局面，你竟然还能留下传承？”
“当真是阴魂不散呢。”
“不过这倒是也让我确定，萧灵儿，的确是你的传人，换言之···我的小师妹？”
“呵呵呵。”
她笑了。
面上却满是癫狂与狰狞，再无之前的清冷与淡定。
“我亲爱的···小师妹啊。”
“你···竟得到焚炎诀了么？”
她不是蠢人，若是蠢人，也混不到如今的地步，也不可能拥有如今的身份、地位与实力。
通过情报、通过自己的了解，再结合外界传言，她能很轻易将一切拼凑完整。
显然，当初那一战之后，那老家伙虽死，但却不知为何留下了传承，且就在乾元仙朝境内！
但这传承却是数千年不显，直到十余年前，萧灵儿机缘巧合之下得到，或许就是因为痴迷炼丹，才导致她修为倒退，被人们认为是废物！
其后，萧灵儿到西南域加入揽月宗，得地心妖火，炼丹正式提上日程，并因此而恢复‘天才之名’，且一路高歌猛进，直到如今。
再结合这些年来关于萧灵儿的消息。
数种异火傍身！
有数种操控异火的‘无敌术’，其中一种宛若太阳，另一种，则是如同多种异火拼凑而成的莲花···
这一切加在一起，真的不难猜。
显然！
就是萧灵儿得了那老家伙的传承，甚至连焚炎诀都在其手中，否则，她不可能操控如此之多的异火，也不可能有那些‘无敌术’。
“老家伙啊，老家伙。”
‘尊者’以手扶额，满脸都是狞笑，自语道：“当初，我跟在你身边鞍前马后、任劳任怨千余年。”
“伱也曾说，我的炼丹天赋，乃是你见过之人中最好的，也正因如此，才会收我为你亲传弟子。”
“但那焚炎诀，我要了近千年，你却始终不曾给我。”
“却不曾想，在你死后，将将它留给了一个素不相识的小丫头，我的小师妹，哈哈哈，当真是···哈哈哈哈！”
她笑的眼泪都出来了。
更加癫狂。
“不过，也好。”
“这些年来我始终寻找未果，还以为，焚炎诀早已被你毁去，却不曾想，竟在我亲爱的小师妹手中。”
“如此，我便可找上门去，‘清理门户’，顺便，拿回焚炎诀，唯有如此，我才安心呐。”
低语过后。
她彻底冷静下来，轻敲座椅扶手之余，细细思量。
“要杀萧灵儿很容易。”
“但揽月宗却有些麻烦。”
“一个看似三流，实则，却拥有一流宗门战力的势力。”
“以他们在日月仙朝一战之时所展露的战力来看，纵是玄火丹塔倾巢而出，损失也不会小。”
“至于人脉···”
“在西南域，揽月宗的人脉，只怕是在玄火丹塔之上。”
“如此说来，却是不可莽撞。”
“得合纵连横，驱狼吞虎！”
这几年，揽月宗太‘火’了。
火到他们远在东北域，都时常有所耳闻，尤其是之前日月仙朝一战，消息传的沸沸扬扬，揽月宗弟子有多强、有多逆天，堪称人尽皆知。
她自然也是清楚的很。
也正因如此，她决定，不可力敌，得找点‘帮手’。
“给我查！”
她又是一声令下：“查出那些势力与揽月宗有仇怨，可为本尊者所用，而后立刻联系他们，就说本尊者要与他们见面！”
“我要···”
“覆灭揽月宗！”
两名长老面色猛然一变：“尊者，这···是否有些不妥？”
“有何不妥？”
尊者冷哼一声：“我才是玄火丹塔之主！”
两名长老：“···”
之前得到赏赐的长老却是突然眼珠子一转：“尊者，我倒是有个想法，虽不知尊者为何要对付揽月宗，但想来应当是与丹药有关。”
“丹药出自揽月宗，但这刘家，却也与他们有千丝万缕的联系。”
“不如···”
“咱们先拿刘家开刀？”
“他们既然与刘家结盟，那刘家有危险，他们必然不会坐视不理，咱们只要找准时机，对刘家商铺之人动手，围而不杀···”
“危急之下，他们自会求援。”
“刘家也会派人前来，可刘家之人若是不敌，他们便会请揽月宗出手。”
“只要咱们提前做好准备，待揽月宗之人到来时，来一个杀一个、来两个杀一双···岂不美哉？！”
“毕竟，东北域说到底也算是咱们的主场，可若是去了西南域大战，于我等，太过不利。”
“客场作战，有太多不确定因素。”
“尊者您意下如何？”
尊者撇了他一眼，见他那满脸谄媚，不由道：“你倒是个有脑子的。”
“多谢尊者夸赞。”
“只要尊者一声令下，老夫立刻去办，必然将此事办的妥妥当当、漂漂亮亮。”
“不急。”
尊者却是轻轻摆手：“你以为此事，本尊想不到么？”
“但正所谓打草惊蛇，一旦对刘家出手，很容易让揽月宗提前警觉，若是如此，便难以得手了。”
“按照我说的去办！”
“立刻查明与揽月宗有仇的势力，请他们前来一叙。”
“至于刘家药铺那边，密切关注便是。”
“另外···”
“给我查清楚，刘家药铺之内可有什么重要人物！”
“半月之内，本尊要得知一切，也要见到想见之人！”
两名长老对视一眼，唯有苦笑，随即，立刻去办事。
······
玄火丹塔实力足够强，人脉更是堪称惊人，稍微动用一下人脉，各种情报、线索，便轻松到手。
甚至。
他们都不用自己去查。
只要将消息放出去，便有的是人主动去查，并哭着喊着求着将情报送来。
这些人、这些势力，无一不是想要搭上玄火丹塔这条线，从而使自己以后能够稳定从玄火丹塔之内购买丹药。
毕竟，玄火丹塔乃是东北域丹道魁首。
除圣地之外，也就玄火丹塔的炼丹之术最为强横。
除玄火丹塔之主韩凤是丹道大宗师之外，玄火丹塔诸多长老、弟子，也是炼丹的一把好手！
且玄火丹塔来历非凡。
乃是当年丹帝所创！
当初，丹帝声名鹊起，求她的人数都数不过来，想要追随她，为她鞍前马后之人亦是极多。
而丹帝也并非不近人情之人，且同样有野心。
因此，便从中挑选了一些可造之材，创造丹塔，而后教导他们炼丹之术，一同在丹道携手共进。
不到百年，丹塔便闯出了赫赫威名，更是强势晋升一流势力。
在那时，丹塔在东北域便几乎已然是无人不知、无人不晓。
其后，又经历多年发展，再遭遇变故，丹帝身死，其徒韩凤自然而然接手丹塔，又因她拥有异火，因此将丹塔改名为玄火丹塔。
距今，已又过去数千年时光。
这数千年里，玄火丹塔越发鼎盛，求药之人数不胜数。
他们要办事···
自然有无数人鞍前马后。
很快，消息摆在他们眼前。
“有意思。”
韩凤翻阅着情报，呵呵一笑：“这揽月宗仇敌，可当真是不少呢。”
“不说其他。”
“仅仅是一流之上，便有灵剑宗、皓月宗，甚至，还要加上一个隐魂殿，嗯···还有四方仙朝？”
“甚至，连羽族和大乘佛教都与他们有些摩擦？有趣。”
“其他仇家，更是多如牛毛，我都懒得去看···”
她得到的情报颇为全面。
从皓月宗这个‘死敌’，到隐魂殿之前在揽月宗损失了十数位护法，再到灵剑宗曾与揽月宗交手数次，虽然之后他们之间的关系有些‘模糊’，但也并非全然不能利用。
至于四方仙朝，则属于内部争斗而揽月宗‘间接’插手，这也是仇恨。
羽族与大乘佛教···
则不能算做是揽月宗的仇家。
只是有些摩擦，但问题不大。
若是问题大，也不用自己去挑拨或是出手，他们早已出手了，毕竟对这类圣地和不朽古族的势力而言，若是真想灭揽月宗，何须等到现在？
“如此看来···”
“皓月宗与隐魂殿，便是我要尽力争取的盟友，亦是我要驱使的···虎！”
灵剑宗态度太模糊！
剑子甚至数次为揽月宗而出手。
他们之间的仇恨，外人搞不清楚，韩凤不愿意冒险。
但皓月宗与隐魂殿，却是妥妥的仇敌！
皓月宗与揽月宗之仇已经延续过万年，之所以到现在都还未曾出手，呵···
韩凤想笑。
在她看来，皓月宗之人，是真的蠢。
一开始，是有万花圣地作保，他们不敢明着出手，只能在暗中针对，这可以理解。
但其后万花圣地已经摆明不再保揽月宗，皓月宗却还不全力以赴将揽月宗覆灭，直到日月仙朝一战，揽月宗已然成了气候。
那时···
皓月宗定然如同热锅上的蚂蚁一般，焦急万分吧？
做梦都想要将揽月宗给灭了吧？
可惜，为时已晚。
那时的皓月宗之主，应当是与自己有着相同顾忌——硬拼，损失不小。
只能暂且作罢，再想其他办法，这一拖，便是现在。
数月过去，还没有任何动静。
“哼！”
“就这般决定了，你们亲自前去联络皓月宗与隐魂殿，请皓月宗宗主、隐魂殿殿主前来一叙，就说本尊有要事相商，让他们务必尽快前来！”
韩凤下令。
“至于日月仙朝余孽等等···”
“想来短时间内也成不了气候，无需在意。”
“是，尊者。”
“···”
······
数日后。
一位玄火丹塔长老亲至皓月宗。
他抱着膀子，满脸倨傲之色。
“吾乃玄火丹塔长老，此番前来有要事见你们宗主，速速前去通报！”
守山弟子一听，顿时头皮发麻：“前辈稍后。”
他立刻跑去传递消息，但遇到自己负责人时，却也忍不住添油加醋一番，绘声绘色描述对方有多狂妄、倨傲。
有多么眼高于顶，根本没将自己这个皓月宗弟子放在眼里。
“玄火丹塔？！”
负责处理此事的外务长老眉头一皱：“哼，东北域势力的长老而已，跑到我皓月宗来耀武扬威？当我皓月宗无人不成？”
若是以往···
外务长老还真不敢如此硬气。
玄火丹塔那可是东北域丹道魁首，就算战力不如皓月宗，但是人家人脉广、掌握海量资源，还能炼丹···
皓月宗都得巴不得与他们建交，并从玄火丹塔大批量购买丹药。
但如今，哼，我皓月宗有陆鸣长老在，还需看你玄火丹塔的脸色？
纵然陆鸣长老只有一人，但他可是丹道大宗师，就算比之你们玄火丹塔之主也未必会差上多少吧？
毕竟，自己可是分到过一枚丹药，亲自感受过的。
那品质、那味道、那感觉···啧，永世难忘。
你一个丹塔长老而已，也敢造次？
简直狂妄！
“待老夫亲自会会他！”
皓月宗外务长老脖子一梗，仰着头，让自己眼高于顶，接着‘闪现’到山门外，一眼便瞧见抱着膀子、满脸倨傲的丹塔长老，不由眉头皱起。
“你便是丹塔长老？”
“正是！”丹塔长老面不改色，淡定回应：“你又是何人？”
“我有要事相商，速速带我去见你们宗主。”
马德，竟然真这么狂？
我看你根本没把我们皓月宗放在眼里！
特娘的，我们皓月宗离超一流宗门都只有一步之遥，这还是在我们的主场，你还敢如此狂妄？
看我如何治你！
“呵呵！”
他轻笑一声。
倒也不曾撕破脸皮，也没有任何恶语相向。
但就是这么一声轻笑，却让人听着极为不爽。
“你笑什么？！”
“没什么，只是想起高兴的事情，另外，这位丹塔长老，我宗宗主日理万机、忙碌无比，有不知多少重要大事等着他前去定夺。”
“却也不是什么人说见便能见的。”
“耽搁了宗门大事，我这区区一个外务长老可是担待不起。”
“因此，还请见谅。”
“若想见我宗宗主，得道明来意，由我评估之后，方可决定是否带你去见宗主。”
丹塔长老心头恼怒，哼道：“我不远亿万里而来，自然是有要紧之事，若是耽搁了，你便担待的起？！”
“这却不劳你费心了。”
“规矩，就是规矩。”
外务长老不紧不慢开口。
小样，我还治不了你？
丹塔长老气的眉头直跳。
自己可是堂堂丹塔长老！
一手炼丹之术，怕是足以冠绝整个皓月宗，更是背靠丹塔，丹道宗师、丹道大宗师都有，你却如此狂妄、如此不给自己面子？
岂有此理！
皓月宗了不起啊？
但考虑到韩凤所下的死命令，他却又无可奈何，只能捏着鼻子认了。
“好好好！”
“我丹塔尊者想请贵宗宗主一叙，共商关乎皓月宗生死存亡之大事，此事，可足够重要？！”
“你可还要拦我？”
他冷笑之余，心中却已然暗下决定。
回去之后定要告知尊者，若非必要，否则，绝不能给皓月宗炼制哪怕一枚丹药，卖给他们也不行！
“？！”
外务长老听懵了。
什么特么的就关乎皓月宗生死存亡了？
我皓月宗活的好好的，你特么说要亡就亡啊？
但对方说的如此斩钉截铁，且还是丹塔之主相邀，他也不好再继续为难，便道：“此事，倒是可以汇报。”
“那还等什么？前面带路！”
“唉~且慢！”
“我前去通报，你在此地等着便是！”
虽然要通报，但我不还是能恶心你？
见丹塔长老面色发绿，却又只能憋回去、不敢发怒的模样，外务长老心头暗爽，但却也不敢再耽搁，立刻前去汇报。
······
“竟有此事？”
姬皓月诧异。
“他可说明缘由？”
“并未说明，而且，宗主，他太过狂妄了，极为倨傲，根本没将咱们皓月宗放在眼里，依我看···”
外务长老准备给他上眼药。
姬皓月一听，也是微微皱眉：“早便听闻丹塔之人倨傲的很，今日听你所言，倒是名副其实。”
“此事本宗主自有定夺，但既然是丹塔之主相邀，便给他个面子。”
“你让他上来见我。”
“是，宗主。”
外务长老早就猜到会如此，因此也没想着一直将他拦在山下，此刻自然没有任何心理负担。
总不能因自己一个人的情绪，而不顾及整个宗门之大事吧？
但就在此刻，姬皓月却又道：“你替我通知陆鸣长老，若他出关了，便让过来见我。”
“丹塔之人···”
“哼，如今，丹塔之人有何资格在我宗耀武扬威？”
“是，宗主。”
外务长老大喜！
······
片刻之后。
丹塔长老到了。
姬皓月不疾不徐叫人招待着。
另一边，外务长老前来通知陆鸣。
本想装继续闭关偷懒，不炼药的陆鸣突闻有事，不由眼珠子一转：“去看看也好。”
他当即‘出关’···
随后，在皓月宗大殿，见到了这位丹塔长老、丹道大师。
所谓大师，便是在‘宗师’之下的称谓。
说明其炼丹之术已经登堂入室，受万人敬仰，但却想要开宗立派、自成一脉，却还差了些。
至于丹道大宗师，那自然是在宗师之上。
这些称谓，没有什么统一的考核标准，想要‘晋升’，却也是千难万难，因为只看‘战绩’与‘口碑’。
“呵呵，陈长老，这位是我宗陆鸣陆长老。”
姬皓月微微一笑，笑呵呵介绍道：“对了，陆长老也懂炼丹之术。”
“哦。”
丹塔陈长老随意应了一句。
他接到命令之后第一时间便赶过来了，对皓月宗了解不多，因此，也不认识什么陆鸣。
一听这话，顿感不屑。
懂炼丹？
你们这些只知道修炼的莽夫，懂个求的炼丹？
把药材混吧混吧，弄成小球，就叫炼丹是吧？
完全是暴殄天物，当心遭天打雷劈啊！
见他毫不在意，姬皓月又道：“陆长老是丹道大宗师，想来陈长老乃是丹塔高人，应当与陆长老有些共同语言便是。”
“因此，便想着让陆长老前来作陪，陈长老不介意吧？”
陈长老：“？？？！”
丹道大宗师？
你特么逗我玩儿呢。
你皓月宗凭什么有丹道大宗师？
他瞪眼，人都傻了。
“姬宗主说笑了，这怎么可···”
“说笑？”
姬皓月笑了笑，看似平和，实则，却是咄咄逼人：“本宗主日理万机，岂会与你说笑？”
言下之意便是···你也配？！
陈长老色变，着重打量着陆鸣，有些不可置信道：“丹道大宗师？”
“什么丹道大宗师？”
陆鸣摆了摆手，他自然能看出姬皓月的意思，不就是想装个逼么？
Just cooperate, it's no big deal.
"It's just a compliment from my friends on the road. I feel I'm still far from being good enough and I still have a long way to go."
“!!!” Elder Chen was completely numb.
But Lu Ming said, "I heard that the Dan Tower was founded by the former Dan Emperor. There are many alchemy masters and great masters in it. It is the leader of alchemy in the Northeast Region."
"The younger generation really longs for this~"
After knowing that Liang Danxia was the former Emperor of Dan, Lin Fan asked the Jinyiwei to focus on gathering relevant intelligence.
Although the information he inquired about was only minor details that everyone knew.
But combined with the template, Lin Fan could easily determine that this Dan Tower was the modified version of the "Danta" with one tower and one hall.
Since it’s that Danta, there’s no need to give him any good face, right?
"Yearning? Excellent, excellent!"
Ji Haoyue happily took over the topic and said with a smile: "Actually, I am also quite yearning and curious."
"It just so happens that Elder Chen came here to invite me to discuss important matters, but it suddenly occurred to me that Danta is a holy place in the hearts of countless alchemists. Elder Lu must be very curious about it."
"Therefore, I would like to take you with me to 'see the world'. What do you think, Elder Lu?"
“···”
grass?!
People from Danta, please ask Ji Haoyue to come over?
These are all our own 'enemies', they are all together...
Definitely nothing good.
Go, you must go!
only···
What a coincidence? Taking the initiative to invite me over?
Lu Ming almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
At the beginning, I really had no intention of being an undercover agent. It was all due to chance, and coupled with the fact that the Haoyue Sect had spent a lot of money to "beg", I just took advantage of the situation.
Who knew that this undercover agent was...
I clearly didn't do anything, but suddenly became a core member?
Even if something happens, he would take the initiative to go to the "first scene" to witness it?
That’s a great feeling!
Lu Ming smiled and nodded: "Is this true?"
"What the Sect Master said hits the nail on the head. I am still young and need to learn more. I have admired Danta for a long time. It is a great honor to be able to go there."
"Elder Chen, Danta... you shouldn't mind if I go with the Sect Master, right?"
Elder Chen: “…”
Damn!
That's enough for the two of you.
What's the point of playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio when they are all thousand-year-old foxes?
Are we singing the same tune and putting on a big show here?
Who doesn't know that you are cooperating with each other and want to show off in my Dan Tower, to show that you, the Haoyue Sect, also have a grandmaster of alchemy and don't need to ask my Dan Tower for anything?
That's too much!
But, is the Grand Master of Alchemy really that great?
Want to show off in my Danta...
snort!
Let me see how you pretend!
He sneered in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Of course you are welcome. In that case, shall we set off now?"
"Before we set off, the Venerable said that the situation was urgent and that we should not delay!"
"Okay."
Ji Haoyue nodded: "Then let's go."
He is fearless.
I'm really not afraid of what Danta will do to me.
Although Danta's combat power is not much weaker than Haoyue Sect, the two sides have no grudges against each other. If they dare to attack me, the leader of Haoyue Sect, then expect a cross-domain war to the death!
Unless the people in Danta have their brains stuck in the door, it is impossible for them to plot against me for no reason.
Besides, I am not made of clay!
They set off.
······
Eastern Region.
After the Soul Palace learned the news, the palace master did not come out.
A deputy hall master set out for the Xuanhuo Dan Tower in the northeast region to discuss important matters.
In fact, they don't believe in the so-called "life and death".
But after all, it was the Lord of Xuanhuo Danta who invited him personally, so we have to give him some face.
Therefore.
On this day, the Venerable Xuanhuo Danta, the Master of Haoyue Sect, and the Deputy Master of Yinhun Hall met quietly.
